You get a charging travel case, too, which keeps your brush protected and can also charge it when you plug in the supplied two-pin adapter. I’d have preferred a USB input, since it’s likely to be more useful when travelling. Please note. There are multiple variants of the Oral-B iO. It is the range-topping iO Series 9 that I am comparing here primarily making reference to the Series 7 and Series 8 where appropriate.

All are of plastic construction but the Genius 9000 is finished in a slightly different material, slightly softer to the touch. Above: Genius 9000 Rose Gold in travel case Gum Care does a more sedate 5,400-9,900 oscillations per minute (and again, the speed alternates), and 24,000-45,000 pulsations per minute for the same reason. However, with so few differences between them, I can say either are worth your investment, if you want a premium and feature-rich toothbrush. The ring offers a bit of personalisation to the brush but in no way changes the clean. Above: Genius 9000 Pressure Sensor / Smart Ring The Smart 5 has a single power button on the front, that not only activates the brush but changes the cleaning modes.

A possible consideration is to use toothpaste tablets instead of regular toothpaste and then you would not have the issue at all 😀 I hope this helps. From my experience, I would suggest they have similar accuracy, therefore, the Genius X is more appealing as it is less hassle. If, on the other hand, you've been told that you tend to miss a particular spot, then the Genius X could be exactly the tool for you, at a very reasonable price.

But, another slight difference is that the iO does not change the sound of the brush like the Genius 9000 does when too much pressure is applied. You only get the light warning with the iO, which is a real shame. Oral-B iO Smart Pressure Sensor The Oral-B Genius X has a less sophisticated pressure sensor than the iO Series 9. The Genius X will only alert you if you're not pressing hard enough (which takes quite a lot of force), whereas the iO Series 9 will also let you know if you're not applying enough pressure. If your dentist has advised you that you have a tendency to be heavy-handed then this (combined with the rather vigorous brushing action) might make a higher-end brush like the iO Series 9 or Philips Sonicare Prestige 9900 a better choice.They pretty much do the same thing adding a 3rd dimension to the standard oscillating-rotating cleaning action that these brushes offer. The Genius 9000 travel case has a smartphone stand in the lid of the case, which the iO’s case does not.
